Dalhousie Food Cupboard

Today is World Hunger Day. A day that shouldn’t exist, an oxymoron to life itself.

We, at the Dalhousie Food Cupboard, service thousands of neighbours in Ottawa. Yet our existence shouldn’t be a necessity to ensure that Canadians don’t go to sleep hungry.

Food is the most basic human right and no one should have to worry about when and where their next meal will come from, but many do, 1 in 4 Canadians to be exact.

Be the change, help us fight food insecurity, and head to the link in bio to donate or apply to become a volunteer!

Come have a chat with us or support our mission at the Minto Park Sale hosted by Councillor Ariel Troster!

We will have an assortment of gently used household items generously donated by community members as well as our locally-made coconut and grapefruit natural soap made by MuD naturals

When: Saturday, June 6th
Time: 9 AM to 3 PM
Where: Minto Park on Elgin

Join us for a night of poker, blackjack and more all in support of the Dalhousie Food Cupboard’s mission to fight against food insecurity in Ottawa’s West Centretown neighbourhood!
